Description

Welcome to 728 Audubon Road in East Lansing, a timeless 1929 English Tudor Revival designed by the esteemed Bowd & Munson architecture firm. This grand five-bedroom, six-bath residence embodies elegance, warmth, and history in perfect harmony. Nestled within East Lansing's cherished Glencairn neighborhood, the home rests on more than half an acre of lush gardens, a babbling brook and pond, and meandering pathways—a private retreat just steps from Michigan State University and downtown East Lansing. Step inside the gracious foyer, where a sweeping staircase, leaded glass windows, and original slate floors set the tone for refined living. The formal living room centers around a sculpted stone fireplace, framed by windows that capture views of the gardens beyond, while the mahogany-paneled library—crowned with a hand-painted botanical ceiling—invites quiet reflection. The dining room, bathed in natural light, is perfectly suited for gatherings large or small and opens to a butler's pantry and a chef's kitchen, where original Monet-inspired blue cabinetry and stone countertops pair beautifully with Bertazzoni and Fisher & Paykel appliances—a seamless blend of historic charm and modern functionality. Just beyond, a private staircase offers discreet access to the upper level, while direct entry to the attached two-car garage enhances everyday ease and convenience. Upstairs, five spacious bedrooms and four full baths—three of which are private ensuites—offer comfort and flexibility. The primary suite serves as a serene retreat, where original architectural details meet modern comfort in perfect balance. The former maid's wing provides a flexible haven with two bedrooms and a shared bath, ideal for guests, a home office, or a creative studio. The lower level is designed for relaxation and entertainment, featuring a terrazzo-floored recreation room with a stately fireplace and wet bar, along with a wine cellar, powder room, and ample storage. Step outside and be transported. Meandering flagstone paths wind through enchanting gardens alive with tulips, fruit trees, and flowering perennials. A tranquil year-round pond and stream, graceful fountain, and storybook gazebo and shed create a landscape that feels both secluded and timeless. Every element—from the hand-restored main chimney to the artful landscape lighting, French drain system, and integrated irrigation—reflects the same craftsmanship and care found within. Thoughtful renovations preserve the home's soul while providing modern comfort and long-term peace of mind. Major systems have been proactively maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, including a high-end architectural shingle roof installed in 2014 with a complete tear-off and regularly inspected by its original installer. The steam boiler was also installed in 2014 and is professionally serviced each fall as part of a transferable mechanical maintenance program that ensures consistent care of both heating and cooling systems. These investments, along with updated plumbing and electrical, central air, heated bathroom floors, and a whole-house generator, reflect a home designed not just to endure—but to be enjoyed for generations. Overall, this home has been meticulously maintained and deeply loved. Through the years, the Audubon House has welcomed doctors, lawyers, notable local business owners, and even film stars—each a steward of this magnificent property. Today, this one-of-a-kind Tudor stands ready to welcome its next caretaker. More than a home, it is a living work of art—an enduring testament to history, craftsmanship, and grace.
